What is Round on both ends and has HI in the middle ?

Check out the picture of Lee Oblinger, Carol Lyons,
Carol Oblinger and Ed Lyons. (No doubt you already figured
out that they are spelling Ohio.) You meet the nicest people in
the Buckeye State, our Ohio Dresser members for sure. The
Lyons, Oblingers and Gagnons have been enthusiastically involved with planning the itinerary for the New Philadelphia
OH rally in July. It went something like this in Pikeville, KY
at our brainstorming meeting last year…. “Let’s list favorite
attractions in eastern Ohio and rate them A, B, C for popularity.” “Oh, there are so many in the area. It will be hard to
decide.”
Well, some very interesting destinations were selected, something for everyone, with hoards of optional interesting places to see. Check out the websites below. We will
be in Amish country, and the other secret about Ohio further
south and east of New Philly is the beginning of Appalachia.
Beautiful riding roads are here. You will especially enjoy the
well marked roads and courteous drivers in Ohio. Our rally
itinerary will include the Pro Football Hall of Fame
(www.profootballhof.com) in Canton, the Valley Gem Sternwheeler boat ride (www.valleygemsternwheeler.com) on the
Ohio River in Marietta with a side trip to see the Big Muskie
steam shovel that could scoop the contents of a 12-car garage I am told, a tour of the old Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield
(www.ohiostatereformatory.org) where several movies have been filmed followed by a lunch at Hale’s HD, and a shopping ride and
tour of Amish country highlighting Lehman’s (Amish) Hardware Store (www.lehmans.com ) and the P. Graham Dunn Showcase in
Dalton (www.pgrahamdunn.com) . Nearby Holmes County is very much Amish, with hoards of interesting shops, wineries, crafts,
markets and restaurants. There are many Amish restaurants, i.e., the Amish Door Restaurant (www.amishdoor.com), and Hartville
If you are a rider and not a shopper or museum looker, go on one of the favorite rides

planned by our Ohio members through the Ohio hill country and along the Ohio River. Other optional attractions are the AMA Museum in Pickerington, the Rock & Roll Museum in Cleveland, and the Warther Museum with wood carvings to name a few. We
have two rally hotels on the same property that share the parking: the newly renovated Best Western and the new Holiday Inn Express (2 years old). After visiting New Philadelphia last week with Joe
and Jan, we are pleased to say we have first rate hotels for you, each
with indoor pools and great continental breakfasts. For our campers,
Wood’s
Tall
Timber
Lake
Campground
(www.woodstalltimberlake.com) is pristine and beautiful in a resort
setting just 15 minutes. from the rally site. Walmart is close by, and so
is Adventure Harley Davidson in Dover who will be providing lunch for
us one of the days. We will be right off I-77 for easy access. So there
it is, everything we need for a great rally and vacation together. Hope to
see you there.
